Her Black

4.

After Black left Anna slid down on her knees with the gentle thud. With her vision blurring silent tears came cascading down her cheeks. In years nothing have changed, he could still make her cry and smile in matter of seconds and that realisation made her feel weak again. Make her feel again..

She almost thought she lost her ability to feel those years back, guess not. She could still feel his dark presence and scent lingering in room. She always thought it was unique combination. It was like his scent was so calm and soothing wanting her to follow it but yet his presence was so dark and cold telling her to stay as far away from him as possible. Just like the day she met him. That day was still fresh in her memory like it was yesterday.

She was standing in front of school's noticeboard searching for the notification of that dance competition she wanted to participate in. It was her thing to 'not be able to see the things in front of her eyes'. Ughgh! As infuriating as it was, she couldn't help it.

Her inner banter stopped when she felt a presence and the most yummy scent around her. She knew people will consider her crazy if she said that she felt like following that scent around like lost puppy. Anyways with the big mouth like her she might as well say that to the person behind her. But something in her gut was stopping her to turn around and look. That person had such a cold presence. She felt him move closer if that was possible, yes definitely him. She waited for him to leave and let her have her breathing space again but unfortunately it seems he was waiting for her to turn around or at least say something. So she drew few calming breaths and turn around with ever so infectious smile just to face his broad chest "As much as you smell good Mister and I would like to follow you around like lost puppy, I have a class to attend! So please, if you would move out of my way"

All this while her eyes were focused on his chest. Something in her mind was stopping her to make any eye contact or even look at his face. Too much for being her usual self. She couldn't remember the last time someone had that kind of effect on her and that dude haven't uttered a single word yet. She felt like stomping her foot on his just so that he would just move out of her way. He finally moved away and she flew out of that place as fast as possible.

She wished she would have stayed away from him after that. She wished she could defy the temptation of knowing him. She wished she was not that naive in past. She was sobbing badly by now. After wiping off her tears with shivering hands she tried standing up just to collapse back on floor. She was emotionally drained. No amount of preparation could have prepared her for this. He still had that power over her. Like her lungs breath his memories and heart pump that love. She needed to be brave. It's just started and she can't give up now. With much struggle she stood up and went to close the door. After that she moved to the comfort of her blankets and succumbed to dreamless sleep.

But Denial couldn't sleep that night. He wanted to go and check up on her like he had done many times. But he still couldn't digest what happened in morning. He didn't trusted himself in such state. He saw the way Anna got uncomfortable under stare of Jonathan. He also saw how Jonathan was staring daggers at him. He knew something was wrong with this man the moment he stepped into that cabin. If he could he would kill Jonathan for looking at his woman. But that was not what made Denial mad about this whole situation. He was mad because he saw his Anna getting affected by that man. He saw how her posture went stiff. How her hands fingers continuously tracing that wrist band below table. He saw how his god damn Anna sucked her lips nervously. It was driving him crazy. He wanted to destroy something. Anything. She was his and no random guy will change that. Who the hell was that f*****g Jonathan anyway. He had a feeling there was more to story then meet his eyes. He need to dig in some information on this guy and he need to do that soon. For now he need to convince Anna to give up the thought of this takeover for good.

Jonathan was ready to do anything to keep delaying the finalisation of takeover as long as possible. He needed to get his answers and then his Ann back in his life. He still had difficulty in accepting that it was his Ann all along. How could she?

She was never supposed to leave him and why would she even leave him? He loved her with his life. Did she left him for that Danny? Was he really her boyfriend? Did she actually allowed another man to touch her? He could feel his migraine coming back with all these thoughts. He was holding his hairs so tight that he felt they will come out. Excruciating pain was killing him. The thought that she was behind his sufferings of all these years made him sick. But what if she is??

Then there will be hell to pay and she will definitely not like result of her betrayal. He was not someone to be messed with and she knew it well. So, she deserved what was coming her way. And if she thought that this would help her leave him, she couldn't go any wrong.

'Baby you don't know what's coming! '

That sinister smile was once again back and how ugly this game will go, nobody knew. His eyes were bloodshot and there was tears of pain and anger sliding down his cheeks. His head felt like it will blast any second and whole night passed with it.
